The frightfest begins in "Mr. and Mrs. Simpson," as Homer and Marge leave for what appears to be an ordinary day. However, Homer is living a double life as a secret agent, and he is assigned to eliminate Kent Brockman. When a mysterious woman blocks Homer's shot and tries to kill Brockman herself, Homer finds his competition hits a little too close to home. In "E.T., Go Home," Bart and Lisa come to the aid of Kodos, the space alien who's hiding from the government. Kodos asks them to help him obtain a long list of devices so he can reconnect with his home planet, but his intentions prove to be anything but friendly. In the final Halloween scare, "Heck House," Bart, Lisa and their friends spend Halloween night pulling pranks on unsuspecting people in Springfield. When they go too far, Flanders decides he's going to spook them straight. Transforming the church into the "Heck House," Flanders conjures up supernatural powers and subjects the children to his wrath of the seven deadly sins in the "Treehouse of Horror XVIII" episode of THE SIMPSONS airing Sunday, Oct. 19 (7:30-8:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX.
